I’m also getting …
I’m also getting sick of hearing well-off people acting like the world is coming to an end because they aren’t making 6 figures anymore: ever slept in a car w/your fam b/c u lost your home and mommy & daddy weren’t around to help or let you move back in? Ever done that b/c the homeless shelter was full? No? Then you aren’t poor and life isn’t that bad so stop pretending your suffering immeasurably just cuz u had to swallow your arrogance & ask dad 4 help. Count ur blessings!!

The only thing I’m …
The only thing I’m hearing is a Top3%er trying to stop Americans from supporting taxing him his fair share, which he got a non-deserved break from during Bush’s years. ALL ECONOMISTS KNOW that 5% of Americans get over 55% of the income in this country, therefore MUST pay a percentage greater than those in poverty or middle. During Reagans years, you guys paid 60% income tax, now you pay 35% and Kvetch and moan and that you’re not rich enough! Poor things…..

and the deficit …
and the deficit reduction methods being implemented now like H/C reform (unless Repubs stop them by standing in the way, as usual) begin to lower the burdens on Americans as well as businesses, feeing up money for life. The only ppl paying more are the upper 3%, WAH! Inflation is a MANAGEABLE thing that has NOT even threatened to happen yet, and you seem like a doomsayer. If you know so much abt it, why’d you let this happen in the 1st place?! Finance ppl saw this coming, all of them! (You?)

Paid back to the …
Paid back to the Gov’t from the sale of the stock taken as collateral for the loans given, after the companies begin making money again. Banks are already paying back TARP money and we (the Fed) still have a ton of preferred stock, stock that will gain value as the “maket taxes” (foreclosures, lower sales, lower revenue, higher fuel/healthcare/etcetera costs) begin to lessen and put these back in a position of financial strength. Stocks will be sold back…..

Tell your “Christian”, the raunch laden expletive monger who goes by AmericanKnowItall1, to stop “teaching your children” to be low-life bigots! You got that?! Get a Clue!

Senator Sanders …
Senator Sanders always speaks the truth, he is a very intelligent man who does not get the credit that he deserves. If you go back to the things he has said over the years, he has been incredibly accurate. For many people, especially for the ignorant, THE TRUTH HURTS, the ignorant don’t like to deal in FACTS, they would rather get emotional over irrational/false republican talking points; they get very confused when you try to actually have a conversation using the facts w/them. Listen to Bernie

now now don’t want …
now now don’t want to get all hasty like you were at an Acorn rally – haha

Repaid through …
Repaid through taxes or Inflation? take it in taxes & people wont have money to spend, take t in Inflation & we wont be able to afford the goods & services. Either way it will send us back into a depression. What information are you going by to think this is working? look at what? Stock market? people are getting out of their dollars is what I see.

Jefferson was …
Jefferson was brilliant but by his estimation, we should’ve had at LEAST 10 violent revolutions by now, that’s why there were other opinions needed in founding this Great Experiment called Democracy. We must be ever vigilant and stay involved and disallow the charlatains from leadership as we discover them, and have faith in few, BUT STILL SOME, of our leaders. The newest ones are the least corrupt, Let’s give Obama a chance and some support! It’s 6 mos in, let’s give 6 or 12 more and see?

I always thought …
I always thought that came from my registration, thanks for clearing that up for me.
I think there’s a limit, we give a little & you want more, we give more & you want all. how much of my paycheck do you feel you deserve? keep in mind your not the only one in my pocket.


Haaaaaahaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa!! Sounds like I hit pretty close to the truth to get u all riled up like that, TeenyWeeny! ROFLMAO! Or, maybe you were telling me your life story, sounds like you know abt whore-mothers and molestation from mom’s johns and licking and diseased , I’ve actually never done any of that (ESPECIALLY not regret!!) but you sure seem to know all about it, sweetheart! lol Hahahahahaha! “TELL US ABT IT, KNOW-IT-ALL!!!” TeeHee, chuckle, chuckle! =D =O

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the sentiment but of course, you know, I am an American and the wisecracks don’t change our messed up system. There’s gotta be something most of us can agree upon. Notwithstanding the sad, vitriolic liars like AmercanKnowItall1 who throws around bigotry because of his tiny weewee and cowardice hiding behind a keyboard. I guarantee you that desent ppl have more in common than not and I’ll bet if we ignore the fringe, good ‘ll happen….

That’s exactly my …
That’s exactly my point. It is only a ‘banner’ of free-market capitalism. The right wing media and politicians proclaim (loudly) that we have a free market, but in fact they are totally rigging the game. The regulations I advocate just try to level the field. You can’t tell me that it is OK to take $100 million dollars of compensation for one year’s work, no matter what work you do. Where does this bonus money come from? From other people’s wallets. It seriously sucks being a sucker.

Sorry to hear you …
Sorry to hear you live in Canada. Also sorry for your loss.

Hey FullyOut, you …
Hey FullyOut, you stupid rectum-sucking gott. Yes, you heard me…and It’s TRUE..right?

Anyway, WHY ARE YOU ANGRY AT ME because you love so much and regret your anus-licking lifestyle. It was your WHORE single-mother who raised you and let her customer…er’ “boyfriends” molest you when you were little. Now your is so wide you need to wear depends in your 30′s, and you cant afford the AZT

Blame your whore single mom, go back to sucking another disesaed , & shut the uo.

If I was Jim Cramer …
If I was Jim Cramer I wouldn’t give a whether anyone tries to better this country for everyone because I would’ve already sucked my 100 million out of the system and when you have that kind of money and you have those kind of resources and connections, how can you care about the things I care about? I actually care if folks lives are screwed by one family illness, I get it; I lived it. So, no.

And you’re a piece …
And you’re a piece of garbage and not an American Or A know it all, you’re a closet queer, dinge queen and WHEN you do something stupid and get yourself thrown in prison, you’ll understand what all the guys are raving about who are “bottoms” cuz you’ll know firsthand. And yes, I’d love that, and I am speaking from a place of knowledge! lol

  • Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them. Lily Tomlin
